Biography
Atef Bseiso was born on 23 August 1948 to a large Palestinian family in Gaza, and he became the head of intelligence of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), a terrorist organization that fought for the independence of Palestine from Israel. Bseiso became a member of the Revolutionary Council, and worked with security officials such as Ali Hassan Salameh and Salah Khalaf. He was believed to have been one of the men behind the 1972 Munich Massacre during the Summer Olympics, so he was hunted down by Israel's Mossad.

On 8 June 1992, while he was meeting with the DST anti-espionage agency of France, two young men wearing jogging sneakers and carrying silenced 9mm pistols shot Bseiso several times, finishing him with a bullet to the head. Bseiso's death was blamed on Israel by Yasser Arafat and several PLO officials, although the Abu Nidal Organization was also blamed; ANO and PLO officials interviewed denied Abu Nidal's involvement in Bseiso's murder.
